FaZe target Bymas - Report

The 16-year-old talent would take the place of olofmeister on the active roster, with the Swedish legend stepping down from the team on Saturday after revealing that he was suffering from fatigue and motivational issues.

Bymas is a relatively unknown quantity in the professional scene, with his most notable achievement coming at the end of 2019 when he helped 1337HUANIA to a first place finish at the Baltic Masters Season 3 Finals, where he averaged a 1.27 rating in the grand finals.

"There's this guy Bymas from FPL who really surprised me. I watched him a couple of times and I think he's pretty good and a pretty versatile player. He's not going to be in the Top 20 next year, but I believe he's going to be a big thing. I believe he has the potential to make it to the top and do some good things."

??????? I don't understand a single bit of your point. If you follow the ESL CS:GO SCENE that does not mean you watch Astralis vs Team liquid and Navi vs Faze only you know? He lacks of experience and didn't play for teams, alright, he can't say tho "who is bymas" that's just an insult. Guess what, he got picked up by Faze so he wasn't that unknown huh?Stop being a clown and move on with life

AN INSULT??? IF HE DOES NOT KNOW HIM WHATS THE PROBLEM? WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO KNEW BYMAS? WTF
And He yes he is unknown in the pro scene.
Yes he played in teams (doesnt mean full-time lol)

Well, either students im your country aren't motivated, or there aren't enough lessons, in Lithuania we have almost as many English lessons as Lithuanian, and like 90% of people at the age of 16 can have a pretty fluent conversation in English, so communication in game definitely won't be a problem for him

Because lithuania is small country, noone translates games and shit like that into our language, so even if people suck at school, they have to learn english just playing games. Same with youtube, since our is almost non existant we have to learn english watching good youtubers.

Broky is statistically one of their best players of late, you clearly have no idea what you're on about.
Faze are being smart by bringing youngsters in rather than doing something like bringing in under performing overpaid veterans and hoping they'll get motivation back (Guardian, Shox etc)

Actually i think Lekro could have been a good choice. I think he could adapt to the flanking role olof played lately and make it work better. Also he could help calling.
But i am also saying that cus i dont know much about that bymas guy
Comes as a surprise for me since their are quite a few talented players avaible but lets see how it works out. GL

Paying NiKo, cold, rain and olof can't be cheap, though FaZe have deep pockets. I don't blame them for bringing in cheap young talent. In fact it's good to see them shed some light on them. Once broky's tenure with FaZe eventually is over, he'll have made his name in the scene as a good AWPer, all thanks to FaZe.

Rain shouldn't be underestimated. He's very valuable, especially when paired with NiKo.
I think FaZe is a team that work on player pairings. NiKo + rain, NiKo + cold, broky + literally anyone. If you can get bymas into that dynamic as well, FaZe will be a force to be reckoned with.

no, broky was a large gamble. think about the roles they have/had to fill. broky was replacing guardian and is the awper, the most impactful and invested in role. bymas will be replacing olof as the support player. far more rides on the awper than the support player.

LEKRO FUCKING SUCKS
ill take the squeaker, not that shit player who baits his teammates and cant even trade off of it. Lekro is a stupid shit IGL who cant even keep a spot on NiP of all teams, the team that allowed boomers like Get Right to stay on forever.

What do you mean, new team? Unless he got signed to a team that's at least tier 2/bordering on tier 1, I don't think any org would be so arrogant to try and deny him the chance to play for FaZe anyway, especially not if there's a cheque attached, courtesy of FaZe... and that's assuming it's actual organized esports, not just 5-6 friends and a dream :) but he is a free agent rn tho right?

Now again faze will take 6 months to get the act together to win a tournament. They always lack after any roster change. They going down. I think furia, liquid, navi, fnatic astralis g2 will be competitive.

But he wont be toxic. I watched yesterday Nukkye stream. Was toxic whole game to nealan, but then he sold game with dying on 5v3 on so stupid way. Niko would argue with him so hard every game and that wont work.

No they wont change igl cz then they would have to change their entire system and take new calls....they could build a new team around 1 player + an igl but ubusually dont just randomly bring in a random igl to fuck up everything u built

WHAT THE HELL :D I love faze from the beginning i'm start watching pro cs and support something it was only faze, but now they can have a player from Lithuania in roster :D Risky move but that gonna be really fun to see.

never said he was experienced, stop putting words in my mouth. just said it wasnt his first pro team and he played in epsilon before joining faze.
and they had pracc time with epsilon aswell, learning how to play with a team.

No man if you have looked closely at broky, he miss way to many shots with the awp and faze have lost alot of rounds just because he is nervous or whatever and miss the awp shots looool. okey he is a good player but not if faze want to win a major !

Agreed. He's not flashy but does his job. Yeah, I've seen missed shots, but overall he's consistent and does what the team needs. His awping isnt that bad either, olof wasn't doing any better with it...

I know, niko think the univers spins around him and he is so trash mentality, he do what he want in FaZe, because managers are idiots with that decision to let him to choice all decisions , NiKo think he is the best and this team will be nr1, but they didn;t win 1 major or something good. idk why managers let NiKo to do all what he want, he is retard

hahahaahaha :o i agree in some way he wants to build around him with him as IGL but he might be better off to get a real IGL so he can focus on his aim instead. but with that said he has been doing great even tho he is IGL at the moment NIKO <3

fk sake are these teams so stupid to be getting no namers? Faze purposely want to lose as they bet against themselves to lose which means they make even more money in the long run than winning big events

you're stupid, if you think a 16 yo new comer can fullfill a support role. obviously his numbers will be shit, and he'll get a lot of shit from community, which eventually lead to him losing confidence and getting kicked from the team. mark my words

Same as Broky? He's coming for Olof, and Olof numbers aren't impressive... Btw, olof is not support player, Broky does that role in most of the maps but let's see how this change or if Bymas can play solo like Olof.

In most of the maps Broky is the support player, like in Nuke, where he is rotating from ramp/heaven/outside depending the needs of the team while Olof was anchoring ramp.
On T side Olof is the lurker, you can see it on his stats where he has very few assists (kill and flashes) compared to their teammates.
He got the shit roles, because he was doing entry on quick rounds so other teammates can refrag or playing alone trying to outsmart rotations and getting info, but it doesn't worked really well for him (that's what Broky was doing with no luck before they swap roles some months ago).

Cheap because they don't want to invest in players and that's what is pathetic. FaZe's results aren't necessary good since all of the cs scene, with the exception of Astralis, is so inconsistent. Two good results don't make them a good team, nor do make their problems go away. They don't need another fragger, they desperately need a real IGL.

I mean with olof and rain 3rd and 5th is very good, this isn't 2018 faze firepower really wasn't that strong.
Maybe they don't have spending money for big buyouts who knows. Either way i think if this potato kid fits and can deliver in t1 they should have great results. Niko's IGLing has been improving i don't think he wants to change the whole system by adding a new IGL. He's finna win a major mvp IGLing btw.

Rain gets too much criticism, he is an entry and according to everyone the best teammate ever. He might not be at his peak, but he is facilitating everyone else in the team. This kid they are trialing has never played a competitive match and is 16 year old. We don't even know at what level his english is, let alone if he can fit in a T1/T2 team. All he does is play FPL, so they are looking to him for fragging power and not to have a tactical edge, that's not a sign of a good IGL in my opinion. And NiKo will never be MVP as long as he can't focus only on his game, let alone win a major.

Guys bymas is realy good,look at his YT channel where he is playing FPL,and know bymas like player he have been in latvia besl pro league 5 where his team 1337Huania played,he carrying his team always and he shoot like a god every round he takes 2 or more kills i think if bymas joins it will be better than olof will stay

GL Bymas! Firepower will be insane in FaZe. NiKo with YNK greatly increased teamplay lately, they all seem to be way more in sync. As soon as Bymas adapts to his role and can move and comm naturally, this squad can become a beast

This is a much better point I feel considering dreamhack is just around the corner, Faze picking someone as a stand in and who is not well established is much better because less buyouts and they have time to find someone who is good.
I feel it's a trend to like which is working to switch players who are "ancient and get new talented"

16 years old kid played for 0 teams. What happened to PROVING YOURSELF before getting picked up?? Is that a dead practice? Is having no hair on your cock the only thing that matters nowadays for orgs..

Since they are already communicating in English I don't understand why the fuck they are not getting ALEX who has played at a high level and can handle the pressure unlike this upcoming youngster. Faze have been already missing a proper IGL since karigan left and imo Alex could be a great addition.

FaZe all about getting money now. Pick up t3 player with fragging potential. He plays well in tier one CS. They sell him to another international team. They get a shit ton of money for little. However, the results of the team stay where they are. They become a playoff darkhorse who sometimes makes it semis or grandfinals but otherwise sucks.

Jesus, people crying out for Lekro or Alex just because they know their name and at one point had an IGL role.
Alex picked up the role just like NiKo and when Zywo0 wasnt winning on hes own, Vitalitys strats were absolutely nothing to write home about. Big personality who might crash just like it did with NBK. Lekr0 would be a better choice, but why not giving new talents a chance? Most if not all future and alot of current pros in CS GO were some young FPL player at one point..
Eventho NiKo will never be at the level of gla1ve, him and yNk have lately improve fazes teamwork, with coldzera also pitching in. Bringing in a new dynamic is just as much gamble as bringing in a new talent. Wich other team besides astralis are consistently winning everything eventho they have a better IGL? None...
GL to Bymas, only time will tell if hes a good addition.. Not HLTVs comment section..

Well, this is quite a big gamble.
Not sure if i like this. Broky so far is not exactly great imho, so another question mark in lineup?
On the other hand it will be most likely cheap try and he will still be at least as good as olof or better in short time (if not instantly).

I didn't say hes terrible.
Hes certainly not great, especially if you consider hes awper.
hltv.org/stats/players/18053/broky?start..
If i could pick i would rather get nukkye than bymas, he's too unproven imho. Lekr0 has prolly big buyout and alex is a bit overrated imho (and still under contract if i am not mistaken).
There is room for brand new eu team just from FREE agents and benched people when i am thinking about it.
Nukkye, alex, oskar , lekro + whoever thats decent tier2 team already (and i am sure i forgot quite a few decent names still).

are you living under a rock? lekr0 is 26 years old and has expensive buyout.
Everyone were 16 years old at one point and no one in the scene, lets see in a few months how will he fit.
No one born a star in cs

Well zywoo came from MDL and if people were to ask zywoo to g2 for example pre-FPL they would say: he isn't ready for tier 1 and blah blah.
Point: if you give chance to correct talent they will pop off. Under correct guidance which faze will provide

ye i know but i mean reaction from HLTV people to zywoo in g2.
Also this is a problem of an insane players like ropz/zywoo who came out of no where and people assume he is cheating.
I am happy bymas gets a chance in a tier 1 team and if he performs it will be a win win for faze, free good talent transfer who is young and not ruined like lekr0 with IGL brain

Nice.
Stop asking for Alex or Lekro. Alex had little success and part of that was Zywoo destroying everything last year. Lekro had no success , just because he was the igl in NiP doesn't mean he was good at it.

Good move, but Bymas never played serious on team and FPL grinding is different story from playing big tournaments under big org name.That's can be problem, but hope he strong mentally and adapt fast enough.

bymas is a really good player but I am not sure why faze is trying so hard to get young players, he did not even play a match in tier2 yet but he will be playing against top teams in 2 days
good luck to him!!

Why another tier 4 bot? He will suck cock just like bot broky. Bymas never fucking heard of the guy. They should have gone for an IGL, Lekr0 or alex. But I assume it was NiKos decision fucking stupid rat.

I mean, they trial him for a reason. But if doesnt work out there are plenty of choices right now. Maybe lekr0?
Or try to buyout someone else. ropz? BnTeT? fer? BlameF? tabseN? Just getting the names out there.

Alex, don't want heavy playing/tournament schedule, personality that might clash with others. And what kind of IGL is Alex without Zywo0 winning matches on hes own? Vitalitys certainly looked flat when he was not able to play 1v5. Took up the IGL role just like NiKo, didn't do any better.
Lekr0, 26 years old, brought NiP to new hights with hes IGL role? Nope, a transformerd player just like NiKo.
Point is, theres only a handful great IGLs, and none of them besides gla1ve are able to produce a dominant all winning team no matter their IGL skills. When not expecting one team to win absolute verything, NiKo and yNk with coldzera pitching in are doing a pretty decent job.
Theres less risk to bring in a talent on trial, shape him into the team dynamic, than completly start over with new IGL and dynamics. All future cs go pros and alot of the current were young unproven FPL players at one point..

I think FaZe is completing some kind of challenge of having a player from a new country every time. Already thought that with broky, and now they are getting a Lithuanian?
I'm waiting for my turn, it's gonna turn soon.

Actually, the Greek province is still called Macedonia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia_(Greece)
Great part of Greece to visit tbh, a lot of ancient sites, great weather (cooler than the South), and Thessaloniki is a nice city, Kavala is great as well, Chalkidiki is breath taking.
I still have to go there once to visit Mount Athos.

Kinda nice to see a top tier org like FaZe willing to give a chance for this new kid. No especially important tournaments right now and they did pretty well in the first RTR, so it might be worth the try

I don't understand you people. In every topic where lineup was changed, people was crying that teams are rotating only the same players, no new faces. Now when FAZE took Broky, and now they want to take Bymas you all are crying that he is no name, and he is shit...

Ppl comparing him to brokyy...Brokyy atleast made his name in T3/T4 team where he was the star of the show grinding his way up the rankings.
Not seen much from Bymas in an actual EU team playing T3 CS. Hes got skills, but doubt hes a player that can play bad roles on a team and still put up decent stats.
I'm skeptical for now. If they added Bymas as 6th player to build experience while also picking up a more experienced player I would've been alot more optimistic.

Lol people are mad xDD . Jesus give him atleast couple months to try and lets see how does it works instead jugde and blame, how hes gonna play and etc.
Ofc maybe it's gonna be hard to fit for him right now, because hes young, but exactly hes young and he havea lot of chance where to improve invidually and if they are gonna use him clever, than hes gonna fit perfect in that team, but blame player when he didnt even show up in that team it looks like stupid.

maybe he is one talent, let's see what he is capable of :D ?
Gl kid ^_^
Btw: Interesting fact is that FaZe need IGL and solid AWP
and every of u knows what player have the same 2 roles + very very high expirience, but is not possible to bring Fallen ^_^

Think of this in such a way that let's assume for worst case scenario the player whom they got in doesn't do much and is not giving the optimal performance they will move him and get someone else and right now any player who plays tier X if gets a chance to play tier 1 would give their hearts out and he has good teachers and also someone who went through the same experience i.e broky so broky can share experience as to what to expect and all

age doesn't matter in game if this kid gets the right guidance he might surprise everyone.
people saying they should get top top top players isn't always going to work.
This kid would probably have 0 bad attitude and the will to prove himself to the world.

if Bymas has million number of fans i am one of them. if Bymas has ten fans i am one of them. if Bymas has no fans. that means i am no more on the earth. if world against Bymas, i am against the world. i love Bymas till my last breath... die hard fan of Bymas. Hit like if u think Bymas best & smart in the world...
